As Dexter sat on the open grass field he began to reminisce about the past and everything that has happened up till now. It was all so sad and eventful. This apocalypse was something no one ever expected.
Dexter closed his eyes as he held Hannah tightly.
"Um..." Hannah looked very conflicted and then she finally opened her mouth to talk.
"What's on your mind?" Dexter asked, his expression tranquil. Hannah understood that he was trying to dismiss his pain and he's just keeping it all in as a result.
Hannah who seemed to want to say something before smiled subtly to him.
"It`s nothing, don`t worry. I just don`t want you to be lost in thoughts all the time."
Dexter looked at her with a smile and then he let out a breath and then he closed his eyes and began to clear his mind.
...
It was five days after Jude was proclaimed to be the chosen one. He sat down beside Zur`s cell and then he sighed.
"So the king is only ruling for the benefits?" Jude asked and Zur nodded.
"Indeed he is. How`s being the chosen one feel?" Zur asked as he flung his long blue hair back. He had the looks of the naga race and his muscular body was enough to tell Jude that his friend was a warrior.
"It wasn't easy surviving after the apocalypse broke out. The Nagas hardly leave Atlantis at all and the food supply was cut too. Those who are poor and lesser privileged, their rations we're cut extremely short." Zur sighed and then looked up.
"Hm... That's quite concerning. So why are you locked up?" Jude asked with a sigh.
"Because of 5he way the king made things, that only people who can contribute to society would earn something, those who couldn't began to suffer and then... I left a rebellion." Zur had a bitter smile on his face.
"I can see you regretted it," Jude said and Zur nodded in confirmation.
"It was very stupid and immature of me. I miss the previous king." Zur heaved outt another sigh.
Jude stepped out of the large prison which was made out of white bricks which looked like they were painted with glitter and it was very beautiful.
The two guards by the entrance of the prison followed Jude as he stepped out of the prison.
"Must you guys always be following me?" Jude asked the two Nagas behind him and they both nodded.
"Orders from the king." The guard by the left said and then Jude sighed tiredly.
"So much for being the chosen one."
He walked in the city with the two guards behind him and the people who were around waved at him and some even kissed his hand which was gross by the way.
He was like a popular kid in school who was always getting all the girls. He was dressed in a long blue attire which was given to him by the king and he had golden ornaments on his hair and a few on his necks and ears.
"Hold on." Jude said as he saw something from within an alley and then he walked into it.
"You guys see that?" He asked the guards as he walked deeper.
He was clearly seeing the silhouette of a person laying on the ground and then he soon found a little Naga child in the ground in that alley and he gasped.
The guards looked at each other before nodding and then they walked back slowly.
"Hey! We need help here!!" Jude shouted without even looking back to see that the guards are already in main road.
"Oh my God you monster!!"
"Why would you do this?!!"
"The chosen one killed him!!!"
All of a sudden Jude looked back to see the guards shouting at the top of their lungs false accusarions and then his eyes widened.
